Gumdrop Punch requires simple ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores, allowing anybody to make a tasty and fizzy drink for the holiday season! To make this punch, first pour your Sprite and Cherry 7-Up in a large punch bowl or drink dispenser, then top with spoonfuls of Rainbow Sherbet!
As you serve the punch, top each cup with a hearty pile of Whipped Cream and a handful of Gumdrop Candy! Before assembling, be sure to chill your soda so everybody can enjoy a cold and refreshing glass of Gumdrop Punch.
I prefer serving this punch in a punch bowl over a drink dispenser so everybody can get spoonfuls of rainbow sherbet in every cup!
